A photograph of a ceremonial initiation on a stage with a silver ornate backdrop and a red trident motif in the upper left. A seated man in a red-maroon robe wears a large dark turban, a rudraksha-style bead band, and a heavy gold necklace; he places his hand on the head of a bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti who bows forward with hands clasped. Another bare-chested man in a white dhoti kneels beside him holding a wooden implement and a small paper card. A woman in a cream and gold saree with a bun and pearl necklace stands to the right. A leopard-print cushion sits beside the seated figure.
